Lyrics
Adrian
Intro: G D F C/G D F
G D F C
She's in the bedroom
She won't come out
She won't answer our calls
Until we shout
Now It's her birthday
All hands on deck
This intervention's
Gonna end in a wreck
Am D
Still we'll try to understand
Am C D
And hope to God she's gonna grab somebody's hand
G D F C
Her kids are older
All run away
They've talked it over
And there's nothing more to say
Her finest watercolor
In a golden frame
Hangs in the hallway
Calling her back to the game
Am D
You can find it once again
Am C D
That empty canvas like a long lost friend
G D F C
Adrian - it's the momentary flashes
When you can see
All you were and you could be
G D F C/G D F... D
You should know
Better than anyone else here
And we won't leave till you agree
That it's you who hold the key
Now your ex-husband and his ex-wife
Every boyfriend tells you how to live your life
Apparatchiks and corporate clones
Don't pretend that you're no better on your own
Still we're waiting down the stairs
To write an epitaph for those affairs
Adrian - sad eyed lady of the suburbs
All the time over you like I should be
You forget
Though we're waiting to remind you
And we won't leave till you agree
Please release your grip on me
[Inst]
Am D
Still we're waiting down the stairs
Am C D
To write an epitaph for those affairs
Adrian - it's the momentary flashes
When you can see
All you were and you could be
You should know
Better than anyone else here
And we won't leave till you agree
Adrian - sad eyed lady of the suburbs
All the time over you like I should be
You forget
Though we're waiting to remind you
And we won't leave till you agree
Please release your grip on me
